Category: Mindset (Page 3 of 3)

The very first thing I talk about in The Money Blueprint is mindset. Because if your mindset isn’t right, you will never reach true financial freedom.

You could have all the right strategies, the best business plan, and even access to opportunities, but if you still think like a broke person, you will stay broke.

Wealth starts in the mind before it ever shows up in your bank account. The difference between the rich and the poor isn’t just money.

It’s how they think, how they see the world, and how they make decisions.

So the question is, which mindset do you have?

Broke People Think in Scarcity. Wealthy People Think in Abundance.

Broke people believe money is limited, that there’s never enough to go around. They see someone else’s success as a threat to their own.

They hold onto every dollar like it’s their last because deep down, they believe making money is hard.

Wealthy people know that money is everywhere. They understand that value creates wealth, and as long as they can provide value, they will never run out of money.

They don’t hoard, they invest, multiply, and create more opportunities.

Broke People Trade Time for Money. Wealthy People Build Assets.

If you’re working hourly or salaried and that’s your only source of income, you’re stuck in the broke mindset.

There are only so many hours in a day, which means there’s a cap on your income. That’s why the wealthy don’t focus on working more, they focus on owning more.

They build assets. They create businesses, invest in real estate, and put their money into things that grow without needing their constant effort.

They understand the power of leverage, using money, people, and systems to multiply their income.

If your money isn’t working for you, you’re working for it, and that’s a losing game.

Broke People Avoid Risk. Wealthy People Manage Risk.

Fear keeps people broke. Fear of failure, fear of losing money, fear of stepping outside their comfort zone.

That’s why most people stay in the same job for years, never starting a business, never investing, never doing anything different.

They play it safe, and safe never leads to wealth.

The rich know that calculated risk is necessary. Every successful entrepreneur has lost money at some point.

Every investor has made a bad decision.

But the difference is, they keep going. They educate themselves, they manage risk instead of avoiding it, and they understand that failure is just part of the process.

Broke People Focus on Saving. Wealthy People Focus on Earning.

Saving is important, but it won’t make you rich. Cutting back on lattes and clipping coupons isn’t going to build generational wealth.

Broke people think the only way to get ahead is by shrinking their expenses. Wealthy people know the real key is to expand their income.

Instead of asking, “How can I save money?” they ask, “How can I make more?”

They focus on increasing their skills, building businesses, and creating income streams. They don’t settle for the same paycheck year after year, they look for ways to scale.

Broke People Let Money Control Them. Wealthy People Control Their Money.

When you have a broke mindset, money dictates your life. You stress about bills, live paycheck to paycheck, and feel like you never have enough.

You let your emotions drive your financial decisions. Spending impulsively when you feel good, and panicking when things get tight.

The rich don’t let money control them. They tell their money where to go. They budget, invest, automate, and make decisions based on logic, not emotions.

They see money as a tool, not a source of stress. And because of that, they never feel powerless when it comes to their finances.

Shifting to a Wealthy Mindset Starts Now

If you’ve recognized some of these broke habits in yourself, that’s a good thing. It means you’re aware, and awareness is the first step to change.

The good news is you can rewire your thinking. You can stop seeing money as a struggle and start seeing it as an opportunity.

Start thinking bigger, stop making decisions based on fear, and learn how to create assets instead of paychecks.

Invest in yourself. Focus on increasing your income, not just saving pennies.

And most importantly, take action.

The only thing standing between you and wealth is your mindset. Change that, and everything else will follow.

Most people think the key to wealth is working harder. Just put in more hours, hustle non-stop, and grind your way to the top.

But if hard work alone made people rich, construction workers and nurses would be millionaires.

The reality is the richest people in the world aren’t working harder than you.

They’re just working smarter by leveraging systems, automation, and money to make more money.

The Trap of Trading Time for Money

The middle class is stuck in a dangerous cycle…work more, earn more, spend more.

But no matter how much you work, you will never truly break free.

Why?

Because you’re trading time for money and your time is limited.

A salary increase might feel like progress, but if your income is still tied to how many hours you work, you’re playing a losing game.

The wealthy understand this, which is why they don’t focus on earning more per hour. They focus on creating income that isn’t tied to their time at all.

Leverage: The Secret Weapon of the Rich

Leverage is how the wealthy multiply their money without working harder. They use other people’s time, money, and systems to scale their wealth.

Instead of doing everything themselves, they hire teams, invest in assets, and use technology to make money work for them.

A broke mindset says, “I’ll do it all myself to save money.”

A wealthy mindset asks, “How can I use leverage to increase my income without working more?”

That’s the difference between staying stuck and scaling to real financial freedom.

Why Automation is the Key to Wealth

Automated income streams are the key to true financial freedom. Without automation you will always be working for money.

Maybe you’re making more than before, but you’re still trading time for money, and the moment you stop working, the money stops too.

Automation allows you to remove yourself from the equation. As I say in The Money Blueprint, automation is the secret weapon the wealthy use to multiply their income while doing less.

This is how the rich create businesses that make money whether they’re working, sleeping, or traveling.

Email marketing, sales funnels, digital products, affiliate marketing, these are all systems that keep generating income without your constant effort.

The difference between someone stuck at six figures and someone making millions is simple, the six-figure earner is still working for money while the millionaire has built a machine that prints money on autopilot.

What Actually Makes You Rich?

Owning assets that pay you even when you’re not working is what makes you rich.

Real estate, stocks, online businesses, and digital products are assets that separate the rich from everyone else.

The goal isn’t to work harder. The goal is to remove yourself from the income equation as much as possible.

If you’re not building automated income streams, you’ll always be working just to stay afloat.

So stop grinding yourself into the ground.

Start focusing on leverage, automation, and assets.

That’s what makes you rich.

In The Money Blueprint, one of the first things I talk about is your mindset and the beliefs that hold you back.

You can have all the strategies in the world, but if your mind is wired for scarcity, you’ll stay broke no matter how hard you work.

In the ebook, I cover five distinct beliefs that sabotage financial success. But in this post, I’ll focus on the three that I believe are doing the most damage.

If you don’t eliminate these toxic beliefs, you’ll never build real wealth.

1. “Money is the Root of All Evil”

You’ve heard this one your entire life. Maybe from parents, teachers, or even society.

It’s one of the biggest lies ever told.

Money isn’t evil. It’s just a tool. And it’s neutral. It simply amplifies who you already are.

If you’re a good person, more money means you can do more good. If you’re a bad person, well, you can do more bad things.

But that’s a people problem, not a money problem.

The people who scream the loudest about money being evil are usually the ones who are broke and bitter.

They use it as an excuse to stay in their comfort zone instead of figuring out how to create real wealth.

2. “Rich People Are Greedy”

This belief is the reason so many people never allow themselves to become rich. They associate wealth with corruption, greed, and selfishness.

And deep down, they don’t want to be seen that way.

But here’s the thing, yes, some rich people are greedy. But so are some poor people.

Greed has nothing to do with money and everything to do with character.

If you want to get rich, you don’t have to steal, cheat, or manipulate. You just need to create value.

The biggest wealth builders in history, people like Jeff Bezos, Oprah Winfrey, and Henry Ford, didn’t get there by cheating and manipulating people. They got there by giving massive value to the marketplace.

So please, drop the “rich people are bad” narrative.

Because if you truly believe that, you’ll subconsciously push money away in an effort to avoid becoming what you hate.

3. “I’m Not Smart Enough to Get Rich”

This belief is the ultimate dream killer. The idea that you need to be a genius, have a perfect plan, or understand every little detail before making money is complete nonsense.

Look around, some of the richest people on the planet barely made it through high school. They aren’t the smartest in the room, they’re just the ones who took massive action.

Success isn’t about IQ. It’s about execution.

The difference between those who stay broke and those who build wealth is simple, wealthy people do, fail, learn, and keep going.

Broke people sit on the sidelines, making excuses about why they “can’t.”

Its Time to Break Free

These beliefs aren’t just harmless thoughts, they’re chains keeping you stuck.

If you want to escape the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle and build real wealth, you need to cut them loose now.

Start by reprogramming your mind. Do that by surrounding yourself with people who think bigger.

Start reading books, listening to podcasts, and most importantly, taking massive action.

Its time to stop waiting, and start building.

Now get to it!

I’m writing this for one reason and one reason only. And that is to let you know that if you want to be a millionaire, you can do it.

It’s not reserved for Ivy League grads, social media influencers, or tech bros in Silicon Valley.

It’s for anyone willing to believe it’s possible and actually do the work to make it happen.

And that’s the part most people never get to.

They don’t even allow themselves to believe because deep down they don’t think it’s possible for them.

I’m here to tell you that it is possible for you….

The problem is you’ve been conditioned to play small. You were taught to chase job security instead of financial freedom.

As I say in The Money Blueprint, there is no such thing as job security. You’re always one corporate restructuring, or one economic downturn away from getting the boot.

But here’s the good news, becoming a millionaire today is more achievable than it has ever been before.

The internet has literally leveled the playing field and whoever wants it can get it. It doesn’t matter how old you are, where you live, or what degree you have.

All that matters is whether or not you are willing to do what it takes.

As Grant Cardone said in The Millionaire Booklet, “Wealth knows no age or sex.”

There are 10-year-olds on YouTube making millions unboxing toys. There are also 50-year-olds making six figures selling digital products they created from home.

So as you can see, money doesn’t discriminate. It just moves toward attention, action, and value.

There are so many different ways you can use the internet to achieve true financial freedom.

You can build a brand, sell high-ticket offers, grow a YouTube channel, run affiliate campaigns, build an email list, and on and on and on.

The opportunities are limitless….

You just need to pick one and go all in.

You need to show up and be consistent every single day.

Here’s what I need you to understand, there is no shortage of opportunity. Only a shortage of people willing to get uncomfortable and chase it.

So the question isn’t can you become a millionaire.

The question is….will you?

In The Money Blueprint, one of the first things I talk about is how your beliefs shape your financial destiny.

Most people stay broke because they’ve been programmed with the wrong mindset about money.

They believe wealth is for the lucky, that making money is hard, or that wanting more is greedy. These beliefs keep you stuck, struggling, and wondering why nothing changes.

Your financial reality is a direct reflection of how you think about money. If you think money is scarce, you’ll never have enough.

If you think wealth is out of reach, you’ll never chase it. If deep down, you believe you’re not meant to be rich, you’ll sabotage yourself without even realizing it.

The rich don’t think this way. They know wealth is everywhere, constantly moving, and they position themselves to grab it.

They don’t wait for permission.

They take immediate imperfect action.

If you’re serious about getting rich, you need to reprogram your beliefs about money. And you do that by questioning everything you were taught about money.

Who told you that?

Were they rich?

If not, stop listening to them.

Replace scarcity with abundance. Stop saying, “I can’t afford this,” and start asking, “How can I afford this?”

Stop seeing money as evil and start seeing it as freedom. Stop envying the rich and start learning from them.

Your mindset is the foundation of your wealth. Fix it, and the money will follow.

My goal with this post is simple….

I want to make sure you come into this make money online world with the right expectations.

Because truth be told, having a get-rich-quick mentality is probably one of the most common reasons so many people fail with their online business.

They start and expect to make thousands overnight. And when that doesn’t happen, they get frustrated, assume it’s a scam, and jump to the next thing.

They never stick with anything long enough for it to actually work.

But like the title says, you’re not going to get rich quick, but you can get rich fast.

Let me give you examples of what I mean.

Look at someone like Jonathan Montoya, creator of the 5-Day Freedom Challenge. He started his online business in May of 2019.

Just 9 months later, he was making enough money to quit his 9-to-5. That didn’t happen overnight, but it did happen fast.

Or take CEO Stacks. He went from making $300 a week with Doordash to pulling in over $100,000 in just 7 months with his digital marketing business.

That didn’t happen by luck. It happened because he stuck with one thing, learned the game, and put in the work.

This is what most people refuse to do. They don’t want to do the work.

They want it to be easy. And when its not, they quit.

But the ones who make it are the ones who commit. They do the work, even when there’s no immediate payoff.

Listen, making money online isn’t magic. It’s cause and effect. And if you put in the work, you will get the results.

Commit to being consistent in your online business for the next 6-12 months and I promise you can change your life.

If you’re broke, it’s because of you. Not the government. Not your parents. Not the “system”.

Its all on YOU.

The second you blame someone else for your financial situation, you give away all your power.

Listen I get it, life isn’t fair. Some people start with advantages. Others start with nothing.

But if you spend your time crying and complaining about what you don’t have instead of focusing on what you can do, you will stay broke for the rest of your life.

That my friend is a victim mentality, and as I say in The Money Blueprint, a victim mentality is the biggest enemy of wealth.

There are people who had it worse than you and still got rich. And that is not me trying to diminish your situation.

I am simply saying, you have no excuse. If you want it, go get it.

What you have to understand is that nobody is coming to save you. No politician, no President, no boss, no handout is going to change your life.

Even if someone gave you a pile of cash, you’d probably be broke again in a year because your mindset hasn’t changed.

More money doesn’t fix bad habits. Only a mindset shift can do that.

You see, successful people aren’t special. They just refuse to play the victim. They take action, adapt, and do whatever it takes to win.

If you’re not where you want to be, it’s because you’re still playing the victim.

Its time to stop blaming and start building.
